5 Players one may not know have played Test cricket

4. Mohammad Shahzad

The burly Mohammad Shahzad has been an integral part of the Afghanistan ODI and T20I team for over more than a decade. The 33-year-old has been a witness to the highs and lows of Afghan cricket over the time period.

In 115 List A and 122 T20s, Shahzad has churned out 7,500 runs with 10 tons and 44 half-centuries. He was also a part of the national team’s inaugural Test match against India. Then he was a part of the Afghans’ maiden Test win over Ireland in Dehradun. But the Nangarhar-born didn’t have the best of numbers as he could only manage 69 runs at an average of 17.25.

His fitness also came under the scanner massively. The national team currently has the likes of Ikram Ali Khil and Afsar Zazai as the keepers and it will be an arduous task for Shahzad to make a Test comeback.
